General Marking Guidance

 All candidates must receive the same

treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate
in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
 Mark schemes should be applied positively.
Candidates must be rewarded for what they have
shown they can do rather than penalised for
omissions.
 Examiners should mark according to the mark
scheme not according to their perception of where
the grade boundaries may lie.
 There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks
on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
 All the marks on the mark scheme are designed
to be awarded. Examiners should always award full
marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the
mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to
award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not
worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
 Where some judgement is required, mark
schemes will provide the principles by which marks
will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
 When examiners are in doubt regarding the
application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s
response, the team leader must be consulted.
 Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS
the candidate has replaced it with an alternative
response.

International GCSE Maths

Apart from questions 4d, 17a, 17b, 18, 19, 23 (where the mark scheme states otherwise) the correct answer, unless clearly obtained from an
incorrect method, should be taken to imply a correct method.
